International Journal on Digital Libraries
CALL FOR PAPERS
SPECIAL ISSUE ON:
Digital Libraries for Musicology (DLfM)
<https://www.springer.com/?SGWID=0-102-2-1435147-preview>
<http://www.t-mus.org/news/2015-12-01_special-issue-of-ijdl-on-dlfm/>
Many Digital Libraries have long offered facilities to provide
multimedia content, including music. However there is now an ever more
urgent need to specifically support the distinct multiple forms of
music, the links between them, and the surrounding scholarly context,
as required by the transformed and extended methods being applied to
musicology and the wider Digital Humanities.
The Digital Libraries for Musicology (DLfM) special issue presents a
venue specifically for those working on, and with, Digital Library
systems and content in the domain of music and musicology. This
includes Music Digital Library systems, their application and use in
musicology, technologies for enhanced access and organisation of
musics in Digital Libraries, bibliographic and metadata for music,
intersections with music Linked Data, and the challenges of working
with the multiple representations of music across largescale digital
collections such as the Internet Archive and HathiTrust.
The DLfM special issue will focus on the implications of music on
Digital Libraries and Digital Libraries research when pushing the
boundaries of contemporary musicology, including the application of
techniques as reported in more technologically oriented fora such as
ISMIR and ICMC.
This issue follows two years of similarly themed and named
workshops. These workshops were colocated with, respectively, Digital
Libraries 2014 and the Joint Conference on Digital Libraries (JCDL)
2015. This call aims to continue a conversation that began in 2002
with the "Music Information Retrieval (MIR) and Music Digital Library
(MDL) Evaluation", held at JCDL 2002, which was instrumental in the
development and evaluation of technical methods now widespread in
these research communities.
This focused issue seeks to act as a forum for reporting, presenting,
and evaluating this work and disseminating new approaches to advance
the discipline; to create a venue for critically and constructively
evaluating and verifying the operation of Music Digital Libraries and
the applications and findings that flow from them; to consider the
suitability of existing Music Digital Libraries, particularly in light
of the transformative methods and applications emerging from
musicology and "Large, Dynamic, and Ubiquitous" collections of both
audio and music related data; to set the agenda for work in the field
to address these new challenges and opportunities.
This focused issue will solicit high quality papers that demonstrate
exceptional achievements in Digital Libraries for Musicology,
including but not limited to:
- Music Digital Libraries.
- Digital Libraries in consideration of "Large, Dynamic and
Ubiquitous" collections of audio and music related data.
- Techniques for locating and accessing music in Very Large Digital
Libraries (e.g. HathiTrust, Internet Archive).
- Music data representations, including manuscripts/scores and audio
- Interfaces and access mechanisms for Music Digital Libraries.
- Digital Libraries in support of musicology and other scholarly
study; novel requirements and methodologies therein.
- Digital Libraries for combination of resources in support of
musicology (e.g. combining audio, scores, bibliographic,
geographic, ethnomusicology, performance, etc.)
- User information needs and behaviour for Music Digital
Libraries. Identification/location of music (in all forms) in
generic Digital Libraries.
- Mechanisms for combining multiform music content within and
between Digital Libraries and other digital resources.
- Information literacies for Music Digital Libraries.
- Metadata and metadata schemas for music.
- Application of Linked Data and Semantic Web techniques to Music
Digital Libraries, and for their access and organisation.
- Optical Music Recognition.
- Ontologies and categorisation of musics and music artefacts.
